Alpha Alec's Redemption

“Martha said she was taking her to have her bath… she fell while playing with the other kids and was completely covered in mud.”

At Raven’s answer I smile. Taking two plates, I serve one for myself and the other for my daughter. I sit down, waiting for her.

A few minutes later, King steps into the room with the warriors from Alec’s pack. I push down the growl that threatened to erupt from my throat. Seeing them here, in my space and pack, brought a lot of very bad memories.

It was taking all that I had not to attack them.

“Let me have them! I want their fucking hearts,” Nyx growled, her anger and blood thirst feeding mine.

My growl must have slipped because they turned to look at me. Fear was etched on their faces once they realized who the growl came from.

Raven, bless her heart, took my hand and squeezed it in an effort to calm me down. It was taking all I had not to let Nyx out. No matter how much I hated them or how badly I wanted to end their pathetic lives, I didn’t want a bloodbath in my pack house.

“Your eyes” Raven whispered in a soothing tone.

I looked up, and saw a white pair of eyes reflected on the window opposite me. Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes and try to bring myself under control. The last thing I wanted was Aspen coming for dinner only to find dead bodies lying around.

Once I’m calmer, I open my eyes, just as a few warriors from my pack approach me. They bow in respect.

“Alpha” one said.

“What is it, Joel?” I asked, as King finished settling the others.

“We were wondering if you could train with us tomorrow. You didn’t attend our training session yesterday afternoon like you normally do, and neither this morning nor in the afternoon.”

I liked training with my warriors. I usually have two training sessions with them. One in the morning from ten to eleven and the other in the afternoon from four thirty to five forty-five. Given all that happened yesterday and today, I wasn’t able to attend the sessions.

“I have a lot on my plate, and I’m not making any promises, but I’ll try coming to the morning session.”

They were satisfied with my answer because all of them broke into wide smiles.

“Thank you, Alpha,” they said in uniform, before leaving.

King and Nyx taught me all I knew. Mostly Nyx. I swear, she knows a thousand ways to fight and kill. More than any warrior does. Which just makes me wonder how old she is. How long has she been alive? Her knowledge when it comes to fighting is unmatched. I was already ahead of everyone and I still had a lot to learn.

My thoughts are interrupted when I smell him before I can see him. His scent surrounded me, drowning me in it. I hated it because it made me want nothing more than to just take him in.

He walks through the door, his eyes surveying the area before landing on me. I could feel the bond trying to pull me towards me. The bond that had snapped in place when we recognized each other as mates. I knew it would be a problem and that’s why I rejected him. Werewolves said you couldn’t resist the bond, the pull, but I was determined to until he accepted the rejection.

For a moment, we stare at each other as if frozen in time. That is until Alec stilled, his face etched in shock

“Mama, I’m here,” Aspen’s voice rang through the room as she sprinted towards me. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

The bastard knew that I had a daughter, that we had a daughter. I’d told him, so why the fuck was he shocked seeing her?
